Alterman Law Group attorneys selected to Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists for 2022

We’re very pleased to announce that Super Lawyers has named Dean Alterman to the 2022 Oregon Super Lawyers list, and Erica Menze to the 2022 Oregon Rising Stars list, both in the field of real estate law. Super Lawyers is a ratings service of Thomson Reuters. The annual selections are made using a patented multiphase process that includes a statewide survey of lawyers, an independent research evaluation of candidates and peer reviews by practice area.   No more than 5% of the lawyers in a state are named to the Super Lawyers list and no more than 2.5% of the lawyers in the state to the Rising Stars list.

Dean was first named to the Oregon Super Lawyers list in 2009, and Erica made her first appearance on the Oregon Rising Stars list in 2020.  Congratulations!

Erica Menze, Dean Alterman

It’s been reported that Millennials don’t want to inherit the furnishings that their Baby Boomer parents have accumulated.  Commercial landlords often have a statutory or contractual lien right in their tenants’ furnishings to secure the tenants’ obligation to pay rent.  They want that security interest – but sometimes, like Millennials, they don’t want the stuff itself, even when the tenant stops paying rent.  On February 23, Dean Alterman gave a presentation to the Leasing Group of the American Bar Association’s Real Property, Trusts and Estates section on how to recognize the competing interests of landlord, tenant, the landlord’s lender, the tenant’s lender, and the tenant’s vendors when drafting a commercial lease.
